  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from two points on the ground at distances a and b from the base are complementary. The height of the tower is

    • A) √(ab) m
    • B) ab m
    • C) a + b m
    • D) a - b m

    Answer: √(ab) m

    Explanation: Using the relation between the complementary angles, we derive the height of the tower as √(ab).
